BTC, ETH and XRP Enter Accumulation Zones After Sell-Off, According to Santiment

TL;DR:

• Santiment’s 30-day MVRV readings placed Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP in fair buy zones after the latest market sell-off.
• Bitcoin’s MVRV reached -10%, Ethereum hit -12% and XRP fell to -8%, while Cardano’s -18% reading marked a stronger accumulation zone.
• BTC traded near $63,000 after touching $59,000, while ETH stayed below $1,700 and analysts warned the rebound may remain fragile before any full recovery can be confirmed by buyers again.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP have moved into historical accumulation zones after the latest crypto sell-off, based on Santiment’s 30-day MVRV readings. The signal does not promise an instant rebound, but it suggests recent buyers are now sitting on losses deep enough to shift risk-reward conditions. The uneasy opportunity is born from trader pain, because capitulation often starts when weak hands run out of selling pressure.

TLDR: Losses have poured into networks enough where relief rally is highly probable, and has arguably already begun

MVRV signals put major assets on watch

Santiment’s MVRV metric tracks the average profit or loss of traders who opened positions over the past month. When that reading turns sharply negative, the market is showing that short-term holders are underwater. During the mid-May to early-June freefall, Bitcoin reached -10%, Ethereum hit -12% and XRP fell to -8%, placing all three in what Santiment described as a fair buy zone. The signal is less about cheap prices than exhausted sellers, a condition that has appeared before relief phases in earlier cycles.

The weakness was not limited to the largest assets. Chainlink also entered negative MVRV territory, while Cardano printed the deepest reading among the group at -18%, putting ADA in a stronger historical accumulation zone. Santiment noted that early recovery signs were already appearing across many flagged assets, reinforcing a recurring market pattern. The catch is that accumulation zones are not guarantees, only evidence that recent losses have become severe enough to improve the setup for patient buyers.

Market prices still look bruised. Bitcoin traded around $63,000, up about 1% in 24 hours but still down nearly 11% over the week after falling to $59,000 last Friday for the first time since November 2024. Ethereum changed hands just under $1,700, up roughly 2% on the day but nearly 16% lower on the week after sliding near a 14-month low around $1,500. The bounce is real, but still fragile, especially after one analyst warned BTC could push toward $65,000 to $70,000 before another leg down into a $48,000 to $59,000 DCA zone. For now, Santiment’s data gives bulls a reason to pay attention, not a reason to declare the sell-off over yet. That distinction matters for traders still separating contrarian signals from confirmed trend reversals in a volatile market after heavy liquidation pressure.
